I inputted a partitioning standard, msdos, and got a message: you may need to update "/etc/fstab".

My usb card-reader will not mount now. "lsblk" shows sdb/sdb1, but sdb/sdb1 will not mount. Appears that I need to update /etc/fstab, but not sure if this is the only reason.

To update /etc/fstab, I tried "mount -a"; didn't work - haven't found any other commands for it yet.

The output is " / = ignored" "/tmp = already mounted". I didn't put anything into "/etc/fstab" as permission denied. Partitioned with "sudo fdisk /dev/sdX"

parted /dev/sdb1 print

Formatting seemed to be the key. After that I had to redo some things involving the deleting and creating partitions and altering the partition standard. I don't remember the exact sequence of things.
